Feeling Like a Fall Book? 

I have TWO books that take place in the fall and ONE book that has a timeline that partially falls in the Fall. Once Upon a Pumpkins Spice Latte (takes place in October!), His Favorite Inconvenience (takes place in November!), and His Favorite Distraction (starts Thanksgiving weekend!). 

News! All of My Books Have Been Re-Covered!

For the longest time, I have wanted to recover the first romances I wrote back in 2013 through 2016. And now I have! 

I am a graphic designer and illustrator, as well as a writer (I waffled for the longest time over which one I should study in school...I was like "Which one will pay the bills better?" In the end, I went with writing, and later on, I finally studied graphic design).

The recovered books are:
-His Favorite Regret
-His Favorite Inconvenience
-His Favorite Distraction
-The Absolute Worst Fake Fiance (originally a serial published under the titles Bad Mom Rents a Man, Bad Mom Rents a Man: Glampfest, and Bad Mom Rents a Man: Snowed In.

You can also find my book published in 2023, Once Upon a Pumpkin Spice Latte, under Books!

The Smilemaker

I do not profess to be perfect, even with my masters in English (rhetoric and the semantics of writing) and my 19 years as a college English professor.

I was also a national magazine editor for four years, and I use editors to proofread my work.
But, mistakes still go through.

Humans will human, and all that jazz. 

Which is why I have
The Oopsy Daisy Report! 

If you report an oopsy to me that hasn't been oopsied to me yet, I'll send you a little thank you, from one human to another. 🧡
